Don't label me

I love this new BHA poster, for me it encapsulates the real reason why religion is still here in the 21st century



The poster is part of a new campaign to counter publicly funded faith schools here in the UK. The main purpose of these schools of course is to assist the indoctrination process of children into a particular faith, by definition. Such institutions seem destined to divide and segregate communities, we need only look to Northern Ireland to see what the effect of generations of segregation does to the psyche of a nation.

Liberty, freedom and respect for human beings is an idea which we can all get behind, but when it comes to children a lot of people see this as somehow controversial?

The posters are up in London, Edinburgh, Cardiff and Belfast.
